We spent a week in mid june at this lovely southern style house. It is tastfully furnished, clean and well appointed. The location is close to both the beach and town. We had nine adults and one child and there was plenty of room for everyone. Highly recommend this property.

We had a relaxing stay, just a touch cold (1st week of March)
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2024
Unfortunately, I broke my ankle two weeks before our vacation. I couldn’t miss out on this vacation to celebrate our 40th anniversary with our adult children. Once in a lifetime trip. However, it was very inconvenient since I had just had surgery on my leg. Then I found out there was an elevator in this home. Would have been so nice if fate would have intervened and I could use the elevator to get into the house. However, the owner said no way no insurance, even though I was willing to sign a waiver. Would have given this Home a better rating if they could’ve been a little kinder on that issue. The other issue is they give you very limited supplies. Expect you to go to the store and buy all the extra, toilet paper, napkins, paper towels. Also they provide no spices. It’s the little things that make vacations extra nice.
